Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

yes guess they gave me wrong key. I had tried everyone they gave me. I even queried with them at the time. They advised the key to use is the one that is well worn. Main thing is it is up and running. Starts on the turn of the key everytime now. Just noticed exhaust needs to be fixed as the clamps h...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hi, Only managed to get back to looking at my Moggie this week. It is with great delight that I managed to get it to start. What was the fault - the key. I thought that from the start as I wasn't convinced it turned the ignition switch correctly. I bought replacement ignition switches (2 different t...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hi Bill, Thanks again for your assistance, made some progress but now lost the light for tonight. The battery is full charge 12v. Both A and A1 are getting 12v. I didn't get anything from the red/white wire on the starter solenoid. I tried the cable end itself, the connector on solenoid and when con...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hi Bill,
thanks for your 2 replies. Yes I will give that a try re the starter. Hopefully I will get some time to do that this weekend.

Yes will get the dodgy connection fixed as well.

Cheers
Linda

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hello, I can get the headlights to come on, the interior light works as does the horn. I can't get indicators to work yet. Unable to see if brake lights work until I get someone to help me. I got a new ignition key - but that made no difference. I can't see any isolation switch. Please see attached ...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hi, thanks for all the replies. My update: the battery is fully charged - as I removed it fully and put a charger on it. Many hours later I put a bit of wire to both terminals and the sparks were strong. Put battery back on (as it was previously) and no change whatsoever. Though I have 2 keys only o...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

thanks for the replies. That video you provided Stephen was very useful. As I don't get any lights on to indicate ignition on etc I did put a battery charger on it, it was reading as if not flat. I think I will put the charger back on again and leave it for a few hours. I will totally disconnect the...

However, I have not been able to start it since then. I have pulled the choke fully out and turned the key a qtr turn but nothing. The...
